There’s a hidden path that over 1,300 Calgarians and their families walk daily. It’s a path that emerges as early as one’s 40s, 50s and 60s. It ends careers, shatters lives, and numbs futures. It’s known as Young Onset – we call it U65 Dementia.

In Calgary today, there is no relevant daytime support designed for the unique needs of families living this reality. There is an urgent need to fill this gap.

YouQuest IS BUILDING!

A non-profit, YouQuest is Calgary’s first wellness community created to improve quality of life for active people living with young onset dementia and their families. Cindy & John tell us why it matters.

Dr. Pamela Roachat the University of Calgary has authored several academic articles on the unique needs of families living with U65 dementia. We are pleased to welcome Pamela as an advisor to our pilot design and evaluation. Listen to Pam & Cindy on CBC Radio Homestretch.
